Was the Lokitorrent Suit a Hoax?

kamhp writes "Recently earthreactor.com published an article stating that the whole Loki Torrent suit was a fraud and that it was all staged to collect donations toataling in the tens of thousands then sell the domain. "It seems that the owner of LokiTorrent decided to take the donation money and run, and to cover his tracks, scare the hell out of the entire p2p community. The scare tactic was probably nothing but a decoy to convince intelligent people not to ask the right questions" "

Re:Class-action lawsuit, anyone?

Wow, thats amazing, me and a friend on teamspeak when it first happened both bet it was probably a scam, and that we should do such a scam just like it...

Turns out... we're right.

Amazing, how gullable people are to scams these days.

Re:Class-action lawsuit. Good luck.

Good luck with a class-action lawsuit these days. Thanks to our president, class-action suits go to federal judges, which are very unfriendly to them. Voila, pesky lawsuits on behalf of consumers go away.

You clearly did not RTFA. The lawsuit was a hoax, start to finish.

Reckless Visionary: you're supposed to "watch" the tv show on tv

You: Well, why don't you just keep doing what you are "supposed" to do and those of us who can think for ourselves will utilize great sites like ShunTV that allows us more freedom and choice in our television consumption. For someone who's login is "Reckless Visionary" your comment is more indicative of someone who's nick might be "Brainwashed Sheep".

Funny, your login is more like "Spineless Pussy".

These are strange days we live in. At least when Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was standing up against laws he believed were wrong he didn't do it from the shadows of anonymity. Maybe like his namesake, instead of hiding, you could nail your improved vision of how to "promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts" to the doors of Congress.

What's weird, is you defend your freedom of choice in television consumption. I mean doesn't that by its very virtue represent you as a 'brainwashed sheep' as well? Why aren't you stealing a 'zine or reacting in some avante garde theatre?

"I have to download my copies of the most popular forms of entertainment BECAUSE I'M DIFFERENT!" What a load of crap. If you could think for yourself why would you even bother with passive amusements like television programming?
